Treatment

Theodoxus (Calvertia) brusinai ( Pavlović, 1931)

Neritodonta brusinai Pavlović 1931: 27 , pl. 11, figs 21–32 [non Neritina brusinai Andrusov, 1909 ].

Type locality. Valley of Voljavča brook near Bresnica, Moravica, Serbia.

Age. Pontian (= upper Messinian-lower Zanclean).

Holotype. Natural History Museum , Belgrade, coll. no. 3301 ( Milošević 1962, p. 29).

Discussion. The status as a (secondary) homonym depends on the controversial generic and subgeneric affiliations of the involved species. Pavlović (1931, p. 27) introduced this species within the genus Neritodonta Brusina, 1884 (see also Milošević 1962). As stated above, Neritodonta is a junior synonym of Calvertia Bourguignat, 1880, which is treated as a subgenus of Theodoxus (see also Wenz 1929, p. 2934). The older species was introduced as Neritina brusinai Andrusov, 1909 and newly combined as Theodoxus (Ninnia) brusinai by Wenz (1929, p. 2986). Therefore, Theodoxus (Calvertia) brusinai ( Pavlović, 1931) would be secondary homonym of Theodoxus (Ninnia) brusinai ( Andrusov, 1909) . However, Ninnia Brusina, 1902 was meanwhile elevated to genus level based on differences of shell and ontogeny ( Bandel 2001, p. 128). A replacement name is thus not necessary at present.

Another Theodoxus species formally constituting a secondary homonym is Theodoxus (Calvertia) depressus Taner, 1974 . The species-group name " depressus " in combination with Theodoxus is already in use for a taxon from the Pleistocene of Kos Island, introduced as " Neritina Fuchsi var. depressa " by Magrograssi (1928) and recombined as Theodoxus doricus depressus ( Magrograssi, 1928) by Willmann (1981, p. 149). Wesselingh et al. (2008, p. 865), however, consider the species described by Taner (1974) as junior synonym of Theodoxus bukowskii ( Oppenheim, 1919) , thus we refrain from introducing a replacement name.
